If you're using supermount, disable before installing. Mount
the Tactical Ops: Assault on Terror CD. Export the environment
variable 'SETUP_CDROM' Run the installer:
ie. mount /dev/cdrom

sh ./tacticalops-3.5.0-install-x86.run

(6) TROUBLESHOOTING
-------------------
The following are some of the more common problems you might have, and
recommended solutions.
Q: The game segfaults when trying to use windowed mode with the Glide
renderer.
A: Glide doesn't support rendering in a window.
Q: I am rendering in windowed mode and the mouse is grabbed in the window.
A: You can press CTRL-G to change between grabbing or not. Alternatively
you can change the TacticalOps.ini file
Q: The game crashes and I can't switch back to my normal resolution using
CTRL-ALT- +/-
A: After running "xvidtune -unlock" you can change resolutions normally.
Q: I installed the Glide[OpenGL] Renderer as default but now want to use
the OpenGL[Glide] renderer.
Q: I want to use the Software Renderer.
A: Edit the following lines in either
(INSTALL_PATH)/System/TacticalOps.ini or
(HOME)/.TacticalOps/System/TacticalOps.ini
To use the SDL OpenGL renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
RenderDevice=SDLGLDrv.SDLGLRenderDevice
To use the Glide renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
RenderDevice=GlideDrv.GlideRenderDevice
To use the Software renderer:
[Engine.Engine]
GameRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
WindowedRenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
RenderDevice=SDLSoftDrv.SDLSoftwareRenderDevice
Global settings are made in (INSTALL_PATH)/... and local ones in your
home directory. When you first run Tactical Ops it will copy the
version of TacticalOps.ini from (INSTALL_PATH)/... to your home
directory and from there on only use the one in your home directory.
Q: How can I specify my OpenGL library?
A: You can choose the OpenGL library Tactical Ops tries to use
by specifying the path to it in your TacticalOps.ini
[OpenGLDrv.OpenGLRenderDevice]
OpenGLLibName=libGL.so.1
or
OpenGLLibName=/opengl/library/path/libMYGL.so
Q: My problem isn't answered here. What should I do?
